| 102. Author: buffy Date: Sun 29th Sep 2024. 02:41 First time I’ve been called a tube on dotnet. 😔 I wasn’t happy with the performance today either and haven’t hid from saying it. I just didn’t agree with your opinion on Chalmers. ”Buffy’s Buns are the finest in Fife”, J. Spence 2019” Reply |

| 105. Author: adj27 Date: Sun 29th Sep 2024. 06:51 I think we did improve when Chalmers came on and that in itself is worrying - I know he’s popular but Hamilton for me is an issue - he’s a bombscare with the ball at his feet and offers nothing going forward. I’d play Wotherspoon in the role Chalmers played second half - Otto needs to be in midfield, Cooper needs to start and we desperately need the keeper back. Andy Reply |
| 106. Author: cammypar 1995 Date: Sun 29th Sep 2024. 07:33 adj27, Sun 29 Sept 06:51 Hamilton has gone backwards since last year. Him being a pars fan should have showed more interest but was just as lackluster as the rest. Chalmers did okay when he came on but the bar wasn`t high compared to the first half. That being said at least he showed for the ball and made forward passes both of which were missing from the 10 outfield players in the first half. It`s dumbfounding we harp on about bringing up youth and we have a perfectly confident goal scorer that was left on the bench when we needed a goal. There was no excuse for yesterday`s performance and it showed that we are one of the worst teams in this league. Our inability to make changes until things go wrong although it`s clear to see where the danger is shows our management team are clueless and can`t see what everyone else sees. The problem we are faced with is if mcpake gets a chance to offer more of these guys who can`t compete at this level and extended deals. Whoever gets the job when mcpake goes has to clear out the squad and start from fresh. We have decent young players with the right players around them who can probably hold their own in this league. Unfortunately at the moment we are miles off it and next week is now really a huge game even this early on and at the moment I can`t see anything that shows me we will get a result there next week. c'mon the pars Reply |
| 107. Author: Berkey Date: Sun 29th Sep 2024. 07:59 They have all gone backwards. Otoo the only player you could argue has improved and looks like a regular performer at this level. As said when chalmers comes on and looks decent that’s when you know the standard of our play has really dropped. We’re a league 1 team. There is nothing in this team except effort. The post below replying to me is by one of .nets finest champions of mediocrity! Reply |
| 108. Author: Raymie the Legend Date: Sun 29th Sep 2024. 08:40 Just watched the two goals we conceded. For the first, Sam Young loses his man who scores with a simple header. However, Mehmet is rooted to his line behind McCann and Rudden. No effort to extricate himself from a simple block, part of which is caused by Lewis. For the second, the guy heads it in from three yards in the middle of the goal. Both goals will absolutely infuriate the coaching staff when reviewed on Monday. It’s basic stuff. In fact, it’s very basic stuff  It`s bloody tough being a legend Ron Atkinson - 1983 Reply |
| 109. Author: nick_dafc1 Date: Sun 29th Sep 2024. 09:49 Raymie the Legend, Sun 29 Sept 08:40 A side from the goals, especially first half queens had so much time on the ball in our half to pass it around without any sort of challenge and when we did win the ball we had no urgency to get forward. We played it like a friendly. Reply |
| 110. Author: DBA Date: Sun 29th Sep 2024. 11:49 Mehmet not at fault for either goal, but he`ll still be a scapegoat for some. The defending was horrendously bad at both. Young outsmarted at the first, and the second there were about 3 players who lost their man. Schoolboy defending. Wighton and KRH made a difference when they came on, I`d be starting both next week.

| 113. Author: desparado Date: Sun 29th Sep 2024. 13:30 Topic Originator: Rigger Al like Date: Sun 29 Sep 06:38 desparado ,have you ever played the game at any level , I did actually as a young man and the highlight of my career was a game for Fife U 18’s many moons ago before I sustained an injury. Not that it’s relevant now as it was so long ago. I would hazard a guess that most posters here have not played at a decent level either. We are all entitled to our opinion. I will give mine. Some may agree with me, many won’t. That’s life. But that performance yesterday was frankly abysmal…you don’t need to have played football at any level to see that. What an opportunity we missed in 2014. Reply |
| 114. Author: Rigger Al Date: Sun 29th Sep 2024. 14:00 NMCmassive, Sun 29 Sep 13:25 I was simply asking a,question as many times ex players see things differently to people who havnt played the game Reply |
| 115. Author: NMCmassive Date: Sun 29th Sep 2024. 14:26 Rigger Al, Sun 29 Sep 14:00 Andre Villas-Boas, Arrigo Sacchi, Carlos Alberto Parreira, Bill Struth, Les Parry and Brian Kerr??? 🤷🏻♂️ Again, it’s a fans forum. Disagree all you want but it’s a fans forum. His opinion is as valid as yours here. COYP Reply |
| 116. Author: NMCmassive Date: Sun 29th Sep 2024. 14:40 desparado, Sat 28 Sep 23:40 Tbf you shouldn’t be calling ppl tubes cos you disagree with them either. You should try tapping yourself on the back of the head with a spoon and see if you echo before handing out tube slurs… only way to find out who the tube is COYP Reply |
| 117. Author: McCaig`s Tower Date: Sun 29th Sep 2024. 20:55 The highights confirm what we all thought at the time – two terrible goals to lose, then our usual inability to create or take enough chances. First the team – a couple of changes, no sign of Ngwenya and KRH was dropped (not unreasonably IMO) so Otoo at LB and Clay getting a start, Tobi wasn’t there either, so the opportunity to see him troubling the opposition keeper from 80 yards late in the game as we inevitably chased an equaliser was denied. I thought McPake had settled on 4-2-3-1 as his favoured set-up but he performed radical (and brave) surgery at HT – 3 changes and then a 4th almost immediately after, which was odd. I argued that Hamilton’s booking last week eventually led to us losing; perhaps that was a factor, and Wotherspoon was also on a yellow and had played an appalling pass straight to an opposition player which led to Hamilton’s caution, and Todd hadn’t done much (but then who had?), but even so it was a surprise. I can’t see anything in the laws of the game restricting the number of substitutes that can be made at any one time – surely if there were, you would just make the extra one 30 seconds later and it would just waste everyone’s time. In any event, did we not make a quadruple sub at Arbroath in the year of Y**i? What the formation was thereafter was hard to tell – it seemed a lopsided 5-3-2 with KRH almost at LB and Comrie almost at Inside Right, neither in their best position, but KRH actually played better than of late. Cooper seemed to have the advanced central role until he dropped back to accommodate Wighton. I spied Callum Davidson at the Rovers game – no doubt he had given some thought about how to play us and it seemed to work – we barely threatened in the first half – a pulled McCann shot and a snap-chance that McCann header wide. Then once he got 2 goals ahead they could afford to sit back and challenge us to score twice – it’s been a long time since I fancied our chances of us pulling back a 2-goal deficit and so it proved, although we had opportunities – a bit more alertness or anticipation and we could have done so. I didn’t think QP were anything special, but they seemed to play with more urgency and more purpose when required, whereas we regressed to our more pedestrian style, with Kane looking too isolated for my liking – I’d guess other teams are finding it easy to play against us. Maybe the players are getting mixed messages – perhaps we play better when the objective is clear. We are certainly not being outclassed, but 4 points so far is slim pickings; sometimes all it needs is a small change or a break, but the evidence against McPake’s tenure is stacking up. And what’s with the booing of players before we start? Reply |
